No estimate

No hardware requirements for this model

The weights for this model have not been published, so it cannot be downloaded or run on your own hardware at any size. It is reachable only through its provider, and no graphics card changes that.

On record

Full specification

Everything on record for this model. Most of it describes how it was trained rather than how it runs — useful context for judging how much work went into it, and how it compares with models built at a different scale.

Size

How large the model is and how much data it was trained on. Parameters are the figure that decides whether it fits on a given graphics card.

Parameters
176.5B

Two models: a LM that converts the input to code for a physics simulator, and a foundation model (InstructGPT) "the resulting models have 0.3B and 1.5B parameters (used as default)" InstructGPT is 175B. 175B+1.5B = 176.5B

What the numbers mean

Where it came from

Instruct-GPT + Mind's Eye was published by Google,Dartmouth College, in United States of America, in October 2022. The organisation is categorised as industry,Academia.

It works in Language, and is recorded as doing quantitative reasoning.

It is derived from InstructGPT 175B rather than trained from scratch, which is the usual way a specialised model is produced.

Because the weights are not available, none of the hardware figures elsewhere on this site apply to it.

Answers

Instruct-GPT + Mind's Eye — common questions

01

Who created Instruct-GPT + Mind's Eye?

Instruct-GPT + Mind's Eye was published by Google,Dartmouth College, based in United States of America, categorised as industry,Academia.

02

When was Instruct-GPT + Mind's Eye released?

Instruct-GPT + Mind's Eye was published in October 2022. Capability per parameter has improved considerably since, so a newer model of the same size is often the better use of the same hardware.

03

What is Instruct-GPT + Mind's Eye used for?

Instruct-GPT + Mind's Eye works in Language, and is recorded as handling quantitative reasoning. These are the areas it was designed around; they describe intent rather than a hard boundary.

04

What GPU do I need to run Instruct-GPT + Mind's Eye?

None. Instruct-GPT + Mind's Eye is a closed model — its weights were never published, so it cannot be downloaded or run on your own hardware at any price. It is reachable only through its provider.

05

Is Instruct-GPT + Mind's Eye open source?

No. Instruct-GPT + Mind's Eye has not had its weights published, so it exists only as a service controlled by its owner.

06

How many parameters does Instruct-GPT + Mind's Eye have?

Instruct-GPT + Mind's Eye has 176.5B parameters. Two models: a LM that converts the input to code for a physics simulator, and a foundation model (InstructGPT) "the resulting models have 0.3B and 1.5B parameters (used as default)" InstructGPT is 175B. 175B+1.5B = 176.5B. That figure is the total, and it is what decides how much memory the model needs — roughly half a gigabyte per billion at the compression most people use.

Looking at it from the other side?

This page starts from the model. If you already own a card and want to know everything it will run, start from the hardware instead.
